"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has sysstat packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:

  - sysstat is a set of system performance tools for the Linux operating system. On 32 bit systems, in
    versions 9.1.16 and newer but prior to 12.7.1, allocate_structures contains a size_t overflow in
    sa_common.c. The allocate_structures function insufficiently checks bounds before arithmetic
    multiplication, allowing for an overflow in the size allocated for the buffer representing system
    activities. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This issue has been patched in version
    12.7.1. (CVE-2022-39377)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
